C-Reactive Protein (CRP), High Sensitivity

The High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP) test measures low levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) in the blood with high sensitivity. CRP is an acute-phase reactant protein that increases in response to inflammation. The hs-CRP test is used to assess low-grade inflammation and evaluate the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Sample type:

Serum

Preparation:

You do not need to do anything special to prepare for the sample collection. Fasting is not required for this test.

Test type:

In person or via trained mobile phlebotomist

Biomarkers

C-Reactive Protein, High Sensitivity QNT

Symptoms or conditions analyzed by this test

The hs-CRP test analyzes conditions related to low-grade inflammation, which can be an early indicator of increased risk for cardiovascular diseases like heart disease and stroke. Elevated hs-CRP levels are associated with chronic inflammatory conditions, including atherosclerosis, and can provide insight into the inflammatory component of these diseases. The test helps in evaluating overall cardiovascular risk and monitoring inflammatory conditions.
